Yawn.

The author ditched Prolific because the drivers were garbage. They went with FTDI. Then went back to Prolific because FTDI was bricking fake chips. The impression I got is that the author has no intent of even trying to return the counterfeit.

Perhaps instead of whinging about the drivers he should be engaging whatever vendors about their subpar supply chain.

Or perhaps investing that effort into writing open source drivers for these chips and providing support for all the various issues the clones have collectively and individually.
